A Pioneer
Institution of Teacher Training for Women

Principal’s Message

Welcome to St. Mary’s College of Teacher Education (SMCTE)
An Institution for Women with a Passion for the Teaching Profession.
SMCTE established in 1937 in response to the request for a Women’s B.Ed. (Formerly known as B.T.) College in the Region, is conducted by the Religieuxes Notre Dame des Missions (RNDM) working presently in twenty four countries. The primary aim of SMCTE is to impart quality teacher education in a conducive environment to Student-teachers so as to enable them to transform their knowledge and skills towards the development of society. We have been committed to the cause of education as we strongly believe that the quality of our classrooms in the state depends on the quality of teachers being prepared and trained in the Institutions of Teacher Education. The College continues its efforts of imparting quality teacher education and producing teachers of excellence who are champions of values that transform society.
SMCTE enjoyed a unique identity for a long time being the first Women B.Ed. College and also the first Accredited Teacher Education Institution in North East Region, it has been Re-accredited with Grade A (CGPA 3.12). SMCTE has a practicing School attached to it, besides other schools being available for Teaching Practice. The results of SMCTE have been most satisfactory. The Trainees feature in the first ten positions of NEHU and the majority of students securing First/Second Divisions. Over the past decades it has been rendering yeoman service to the cause of teacher education in the North east. Today many of the ex-students of SMCTE hold important positions in the field of education as head of departments and educational institutions as well as in administrative posts.
